Which sensor error most severely affects precision when computing target angles using inverse kinematics in a multi-jointed robotic arm?

💡 Explanation

Encoder misalignment on the base joint leads to significant cumulative errors in position calculations because inverse kinematics relies on accurately knowing each joint's angle relative to the base; therefore, large angular errors propagate outward, rather than being localized like errors from distal joints.
